Books on System Design and System Design Interviews | System Architecture | Top 5 recommendations

[@nilmaniprashant4389]

I think "Web scalability for start up engineers" is the best book for system design I have read till date

[@lp700ss]

Thanks for this.... !!! At the age of 24 i finally realised that books are more helpful then short KZbin videos. Half of my college time i searched for KZbin videos to make projects and learn in shortcut. And there's no shortcut to success...!!! It's all hard and smart work.

[@idesel]

Very very good point.

[@priyaranjankumarverma2341]

I would like to add two more books that I really liked: 1. Software architecture in Practice by Bass, Clements, and Kazaman 2. Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture by Martin Fowler

[@sudocode]

Definitely will add these!

[@paulmarkert5907]

Thanks for taking the time to put this recommendation together. I am a 25-year IT veteran. I've done well and have stayed within the same large organization for the bulk of my career, which has the nasty side effect of making me extremely valuable in my institutional knowledge, but extremely dated in my technical knowledge. I've wanted to dig deeper into systems architecture for more modernized ways of thinking and have been watching hours upon hours of video, taking notes feverishly in an attempt to gain as much knowledge as I can. These books look like a great way for me to focus my learning while helping me to gain a more modernized skillset. I just ordered one of the books (Fundamentals of Software Architecture). I can't wait for it to come in the mail. Thanks again!

[@yogeshmishra1726]

Even though I'm not too much into the books, i like the way you teach especially your analogys with trucks, restaurants and i think if you make a book with similar analogies with detailed explanation for the latter part of the book and brief overview in the front part. I think that will be great

[@softwarearchitecturematter4482]

Nice list. Fundamentals of Software Architecture is a very nice and contemporary book. As authors mentioned that they have focused on engineering approaches. As Yogita mentioned that this is for developers with some experience. I am surprised that there was no mention of any design pattern book. May be nobody is asking in interviews. Clean Architecture by Uncle Bob is also nice book to read . Again it is for developers with some experience. Thank you, Vikas

[@sudocode]

Thanks for sharing your views Vikas. Yes I have not included any design patterns book, may be I will do a video for books on LLD.

[@meetchaudhary6190]

Thank you

[@pankajshet1070]

I liked these books especially the first one....! These books are good to understand the concepts of architecture. However I would like to understand how to think about the domain like if I am told to design a system for cricket tournament portal or a restaurant reservation system or any other domain not having the knowledge of it.. Domain Driven Design is one such book but its difficult to think about the designing the system which ask us anything which we know nothing about. How to start about it? Database designs, application design, What tables will be involved, what classes or modules would be involved..and the likes... Any good tips on that will by helpful..!

Thanks for sharing details. Maam Is it possible for you to upload video on system design interview on any of the topic. Could be other person taking your mock interview or else both( interviewer and interviewee) can be you and discussing the system design question. I think it will be great. Well I think I am asking too much in free😐. Nevertheless your content so interesting and easy to understood with your communication (teaching) skills. Thank you for making your content it FREE 🙏

Hi Yogita, Wanted to know about any book in the field of designing analytical system as I worked for building product for datascientist ,that gives a platform for data visualization, data plotting, data retrieval , data calculation engine and develop interactive user intervace for time series data analysis and all.

[@harshvirtomar6552]

Which one I should refer first. 🙄

[@sudocode]

Depends on time and the goal. For eg: if you have a SD interview in few weeks, then go with the Alex Xu book, if you want to learn in depth then go with first book.

what is the difference between system design and architecture?

There is some overlap. Architecture includes implementation details to some extent.

Have you come across books which built on case study of big companies architecture ? Please consider your recommendation based on something not easily available on internet.

[@neelambuj2]

Mam, I have 2 years of experience as a software developer. From last 1 year i am working as an SRE handling large infrastructure and automating them.I am inclined towards system architecture. Would this SRE experience be a plus point or a negative point for my gradual shift towards the architectural role.

[@sudocode]

It's subjective, Expand breadth and depth of your knowledge. SRE career paths have architect roles too!
